Feature:
Portability and time to set up/tear down are the best features besides the excelent sound. I got the optional roller bags and the mic stan adaptor for the mixer. We were set up in less than 15 minutes with two keys, bass, drum machine, two guitars, two vocal mics and a CD player.
Quality:
The speakers are very durable made with metal screws and faceplate (not plastic). The mixer unit, which can be left in the back of one of the speakers, stayed cool through 3 hours of playing.
Value:
You can't find better sound for the buck...trust me I looked.
Desirability:
This thing is impressive. We walked in the door with two roller bags and the host wasn't afraid that we'd be too loud. Some guests who are musicians marveled at how good of sound we had. Two even said they want to get the system!
Sound:
The sound quality rivals our band's larger PA. Clear highs and surprisingly good lows for 10 inch speakers. It's Yamaha...great sound seems to be their standard.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Simple and straightforward mixing console. While compact, BIG on sound. 500 watts was more than ample to fill a hotel size meeting room with 200 guests.
Support:
Haven't needed support other than in researching the features. Yamaha was responsive and they offer a great waaranty on their gear.
Overall:
This will be the mainstay of our small coffee house/small hotel lounge gigs. We'll reserve our 15's and 14 channel board/monitors for large rooms/outdoors. This little workhorse can carry the load without us breaking our backs or compromising our sound.
